STOCKTON — Councilman Michael Tubbs took Stockton’s troubles to the White House this week in a meeting with key officials in President Barack Obama’s administration.

Tubbs, 22, went asking what exactly it takes a community to qualify for one of 20 so-called Promise Zones the president mentioned in his most recent State of the Union address.

Stockton should be on that list, Tubbs told officials.

He met Tuesday with White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, Director of Domestic Policy Council Cecilia Munoz, Director of Intergovernmenatl Affairs David Agnew and Deputy Assistant to the President Racquel Russell.
